Item Description

A rare, old-time, pre-1960s, vanadinite combination specimen from Touissit and the Zukowski Collection. Lustrous, translucent, honey-brown (some two-toned), barrels are festooned on the vuggy matrix, which is partially covered with waxy-luster, cream-colored, smithsonite. The striking, isolated, large vanadinite barrel is 9 x 8 mm and has a light-colored termination. Old-time combination material of this quality is seldom on the market from this locale. Valued at $750
